Rep. Paul Ryan Budget Plan Would Increase Health Care Costs: Bloomberg Study

In his budget proposal, Ryan (R-Wis.) presents a revamped Medicare plan in which individuals would receive "premium support payments" that subsidize private health care plans.

to figure out something has to be done about these degenerates.

Here's my take on their candidates for president (with a couple I threw as being appropriate)
